Thanks for the feedback and the business. The connection behind the dryer can make a big difference in safety and improved air flow. Our connections do not crush or pinch and are made of fire resistant materials. Thanks again, Rick

Thanks for your business and feedback! We specialize in dryer vents so we look for other things that improve airflow or safety for the venting when we are there and make those recommendations. Thanks, Rick

I think there was confusion initially because I had them on my calendar initially 1 week out. When I called they told me I was on for the following week. That may have been my mistake so I won’t fault them for that. The tech did a nice job tracking the vents and blowing them out (we have two dryers- small one on ground floor and big one in basement). Had a sitter there to meet them and he sent me pictures. I expected air flow data in the receipt (he mentioned it and there is a spot for it) but there was none. The dryer does dry faster now though so I trust it worked. Cost for two dryer vent clean outs was $370. I think this is pricey but perhaps that is the going rate.

Lint had built up in the dryer hose over a number of years. The service man was able to totally clean it out. The clothes now dry in a fraction of the time. Next time I will not wait as long.
Description of Work: I needed someone to look at the dryer vent, because it was taking too long for the clothes to dry.

Thank you for your feedback and your business! Yes, it is amazing how quickly clothes dry when the dryer vent is clear and not restricted. I am sure the next time will not cost as much as we had to do some work to make your venting more efficient. As you mentioned, the drying times have been reduced as a result. Thanks again, Rick

Thank you for your feedback and business! It is good that you had the fire and crush resistant metal connection installed behind your dryer. We find that you can lose a lot of air flow when that connection is pinched or crushed. Plus having the proper material makes it fire resistant so that if there were a lint fire, it would not escape the metal tubing. Thanks again, Rick

Francis was excellent!! He was on time, reviewed and evaluated the situation, and communicated the recommended action and proposal. From a customer experience, he was of the highest level and exceeded our expectations. The overall pricing of this job was of concern and seemed to be extremely high, especially for the dryer vent cleaning itself, and the cost of the repairs. And time will tell if the repairs are successful, even though it was a very difficult situation that Francis had to overcome with the most practical repair being agreed upon. While I recognize that labor and parts can add up, it is suggested that pricing be reviewed and at a minimum the Service Charge be waived or reduced when the customer purchases the service or product at the first appointment. Overall, Service was Excellent, Agreed Repairs Made appear to be Very Good, and the Pricing was Disappointing. My observation is that Dryer Vent Wizard of Columbus is an exceptionally well managed company that excels at Customer Service that Exceeds Expectations. And while I acknowledge that this level of Service and Performance justifies a somewhat higher dollar charge, I do suggest a review of their pricing levels perhaps with an eye towards Senior Citizen, AARP, Military Discounts, and others.

Thank you for your feedback and business. I hear your concerns about pricing especially for the groups you mention and will definitely see what we can do going forward. As to the work that was done, if you have any issues, please let us know and we will come back and resolve them at no additional cost. We charge a service fee similarly to other service providers like HVAC, appliance repairmen, plumbers, etc. Our service fee is usually less than 50% of the service fees charged by others. All my Dryer Vent technicians are certified annually related to code for dryer vents as there are some changes every year. We follow the IMC-IRC code for proper dryer venting as well as keeping up with any manufacturer changes. Thanks again, Rick

This is the third time over the last 6 years that we have had Dryer Vent Wizard come out. Each time we have had Francis and even requested him for this appointment. While they are not the cheapest date in town - he is very thorough and I appreciate that. The first time he ever came out he even had to crawl under our old deck to check where the dryer vented to the outside. Not sure everyone would do that. (We have since built a patio - so he no longer has to do that!) We always notice a difference after the dryer vent is cleaned and will hire again.

Thank you for your feedback and business! Yes, Francis does a great job and he has a size advantage for some tight situations. It is good that you maintain regular cleaning of the dryer vent line as lint does build up and causes restrictions that affect drying times and impacts dryer efficiencies. Thanks again, Rick

Dryer Vent Wizard cleaned our vent wh,en we first moved into our home; this was our second time using them. Today, our technician, Francis, arrived promptly at the scheduled time. He checked the key areas and conducted the air flow test. Imagine my surprise at his honesty when he told me that our air flow was fine and we could wait another year before paying to have it cleaned! Francis also educated me on how to clean the outside vent. I will hire them again thanks to good technician service.

Thank you for having us as a repeat customer. When the dryer times start slowing down, then it most likely means the dryer vent is getting restricted again and in need of cleaning. Thank you for your feedback and business! Rick

Thanks for your business and feedback. Besides cleaning vents, we repair existing vents, replace lines and reroute them to make them shorter sometimes. It is good you got this fixed because the humid air from the dryer blowing into the crawlspace could create a mold issue.

It went extremely well. The vent and related exhaust pipe was cleaned and our dryer now works much more efficiently. I plan on hiring them again in a couple of years to perform a normal cleaning.
Description of Work: Our dryer vent and related exhaust pipe had not been cleaned for many years and was clogged. It was a particularly difficult job because the vent was located in an interior wall of the house. The exhaust pipe ran under the floor of the laundry room and then vented to the exterior of the house.

Professionalism was good, did everything as promised well and the dryer works well now. Overall it wasn't a great time because he was the "bearer of bad news" a bit concerning the set up that I have in my house- he informed me that the cage on the dryer vent there to prevent birds from coming in will probably just become clogged again within a year or two with lint, and it would cost $100 per cleaning of it (as opposed to $300 for the whole vent that I did this time). The other option presented of replacing the cage was very expensive. I have not verified this provided information with a second opinion, particularly because it's working fine now and I will just wait and see how long it takes for it to not work again, but everything stated seemed very plausible and I appreciated being told all of this information now as opposed to later just having unknown problems again later down the road. Would recommend.
Description of Work: Cleaning out a dryer vent, of course. The dryer is on the third floor and the vent goes through the attic, so it was an "attic cleaning" which is more expensive, but other places would have been more expensive as well and the estimate given to me in advance was accurate.

Thank you for the business and comments. We don't recommend screens or outside cages on dryer vents as they can collect lint and cause restrictions in the air flow. In fact, they are not recommended per the Ohio building code for dryer vents. We have a better solution to keep birds out with a metal cover that is a single flap that has magnets underneath the cover to keep it closed when the dryer is not running and to keep pests away. If you do run into issues down the road, please keep us in mind. Again, thanks for the business! Rick

All went perfectly. I no longer have dryer lint covering all the horizontal surfaces of my first floor. I couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: I had been having problems with dryer lint escaping into the air and settling all over my house. Dryer Vent Wizard came out, discovered the problem was that the hose had come loose and fixed it quickly. They also cleaned the line and replaced the outdoor vent cover as it had broken.

They were expensive and they seemed to have fixed my dryer. The dryer wasn't drying very well. I'm not sure if my problem was completely solved. I still need to run things through the dryer twice. The guy was very thorough, checked things, made some recommendations, I appreciate all of that. It was a bit on the pricey side. They were very good about making an appointment and coming out promptly and things like that. He did a really good job of cleaning up after himself.

We've used the Dryer Vent Wizard and they are very good. I think they went above and beyond by helping us understand they we don't need to have it cleaned every year we could do every other year, it wasn't really very bad. We were concerned about some areas in the piping because it has to go thru a very , a lot of twists and turns to get out of the house. He said it was very clean. and we have nothing to worry about. He seemed very confident and did a very quick job. We felt he was very truthful someone we could trust.
